Now we see what we need to do to make an enemy think about being our friend:
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's presidency, but couldn't help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
Not that this is enough, of course. Castro would like to see more:
But the Cuban leader also used the lengthy piece to criticize the American president for his lack of leadership on climate change and immigration reform, and for his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, among many other things.
Those are just the ones that come to mind. I'm sure the wish list is longer.
Not that we should have much hope that communist Cuba could become a friend:
In Thursday's essay, Castro called Obama a "fanatic believer in capitalist imperialism" but also praised him as "unquestionably intelligent."
Wow! I wish.
Castro is the nutball, no doubt. So don't take his praise of our actions too seriously.
